TCA Cross Treatment

What is TCA Cross Treatment? 

TCA Cross (Trichloroacetic Acid Cross) is a specialized treatment used to treat deep, pitted acne. The procedure involves applying a concentrated solution of trichloroacetic acid directly into the acne scars to stimulate collagen production and promote skin healing. The TCA solution works to break down scar tissue, improving the texture and appearance of the skin over time.

Benefits of TCA Cross Treatment:

  • Improves the appearance of deep, pitted acne scars
  • Stimulates collagen production for smoother skin
  • Reduces the depth and visibility of scars
  • Helps even out skin texture
  • Non-invasive with minimal downtime

How Many Treatments to See Results:

TCA Cross is typically performed in multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements after 2-3 treatments, with full results visible after about 4-6 treatments, depending on the severity of the scarring.

Is It Painful?

TCA Cross treatment may cause mild discomfort, especially during the acid application to the scars. However, most patients tolerate the procedure well. Some patients may experience mild stinging or a burning sensation, but this usually subsides quickly.

Why Choose Stratica for TCA Cross Treatment?

At Stratica, we specialize in advanced scar treatments and tailor each TCA Cross session to your skin’s unique needs. Our experts assess your scars and create a personalized treatment plan to ensure you achieve the best results.

Who is a Good Candidate for TCA Cross Treatment?

TCA Cross is ideal for individuals with deep, pitted acne scars that haven’t responded to other treatments. It can help with:

  • Deep acne scars (boxcar, ice pick scars)
  • Textural irregularities caused by acne scarring

Patients with active acne or sensitive skin should consult with a professional to determine if TCA Cross is the right option.
